Long live South Korea!” demonstrators chanted, describing a wave of relief after days of anger over the president’s surprise declaration of martial law.

Jubilant crowds celebrated in Seoul, South Korea after the National Assembly passed a motion 204-85 to impeach President Yoon Suk-yeol. Protests against Yoon had been intensifying since a short-lived declaration of martial law on 3 December.

Impeached President said he will “never give up” and called for officials to maintain stability in government functions during what he described as a “temporary” pause of his presidency.
